Quotations from the Red Book "Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." "All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful." "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another."
